Donkeys, Elephants, and Mice, Oh My!

Do you think the Republican Parties mascot is the elephant? I used to think so too, but it’s been replaced. By their actions over the last 3 months they have proven their mascot is the mouse. You know, that little rodent that scares the mighty elephant, but is in fact, scared itself. The elephant has ran away and the mice of the Republican Party huddle in their holes hoping no one notices them, or sees them, or hears them. Congratulations, it’s succeeding. No one IS noticing them, or seeing them, or hearing them.

If there were ever a time in our countries history that we need the elephant, it is now. We need a rompin’, stompin’ stampede of angry pacaderms. Instead, we get sniveling, hand wringing little mice. The donkeys have seen how the mice are behaving, and so they have intensified their braying, emboldened by the lack of elephants in our country. Except, of course, when a donkey goes overseas, then THEY become the mice, or more accurately ostriches with their heads in the sand, but I digress.

The donkeys bully workers with threats of union coercion. The people look for an elephant to champion them, they get mice hiding. The donkeys expand the White House’s control of agencies that should be outside the purview of the Administration. Those of us who worry about our constitution ask for an elephant, the mice standby, and fret. The donkeys spend, spend, and spend some more. The taxpayers look for elephants to try to save our economy; the mice duck into their holes, and ask for their share of the cheesy earmarks. The donkey threatens CEOs with mob rule if they don’t obey the donkey; those of us concerned about the intrusion of the government into the private sector ask for brave elephants, instead we get quivering mice. And lastly, they threaten to nationalize the best health care system in the world, and all of those worried about getting sick, ever, look for a heroic elephant. We get mice that turn their heads and cough.

Worse, the mice have started throwing true conservatives under the hooves of the donkeys. The Bull, Rush Limbaugh, charges the donkeys head on, and rightfully says, “I hope the donkey fails.” He confronts them and shows them for the chameleons they are. The mice whistle, tap their feet, and claim they don’t know the Bull, lest it hurts their re-election chances later.

The Eagle, Ann Coulter, sinks her satirical talons into the donkeys back, and makes his braying less dangerous. The mice rub their nervous little hands, and huddle to denounce the Eagle as mean spirited and not representative of the mice. Thankfully, they are correct.

Do you notice I don’t name a Republican politician as someone truly standing up to the braying donkey? There are a couple of Republican’s that strike a chord on a couple of issues, but there are no elephants punching the donkey in the mouth to try and stop the donkey from dragging our country into European socialism.

I feel quite confident that the majority of Americans DO NOT want our country to become the United States of Euro-America. Instead of being mice hiding in their holes worrying only about their own re-election prospects, the Republicans should be elephants once more. Winning an election is no excuse for allowing our country to be destroyed as we know it. The elephants should be trumpeting their vision for the country and differences with the donkey from the highest mountain peaks. No elephants are heard, just whimpering mice. 

If just one true elephant would come forward and take on the donkey, they would become a majestic lion for at least half of the nation. Instead, sadly in this time of crisis, we get mice or even worse, RINO mice like Arlen Specter. RINO mice are actually backstabbing scorpions. There’s no one willing to point out that the braying donkey is really a whining jack-ass. If we allow the donkey to continue to bray unabated we will wake up one day to find the donkey no longer hides as a chameleon, but has metamorphosed into a bear, a Soviet style bear. By then, it will be too late for our country. The Bear will set about devouring the elephants, the mice, the scorpions, the Bull, the Eagle, the lions, the lemmings of the left, and the rest of us cattle and sheep, until only the Bear remains. 

 

Cheers!
